And because he last came 4 years ago, the brazilian public has to endure Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, Things Have Changed, The Levee's Gonna Break, Trying to Get To Heaven, Summer Days, Highway 61 Revisited, and Thunder On The Mountain

It sounds like a double punishment, like 'No arms, no chocolate'

Yes.He seems to choose the most "jam friendly" and blues based songs, probably so they won't have to rehearse. The set lists have been incredibly boring for quite a while now. He seems to avoid any song with any resemblance of a melody, while sticking to blues derivates. Could be on account of his "voice", could be he just wants "to jam".

7 twelve bars, indeed. Not exactly what I would want from a Bob Dylan concert, but to each his own..

Do you really think the "general public" wants 7 twelve bars in one concert? Especially the likes of Levve, Summer Days etc that most people won't be that familar with? If the general public could decide we would have Mr Tambo, Blowing, Knocking etc etc.

My guess is that either he sees himself as a "real, mean, genuine blues man", or that he realizes that he can't handle melodies anymore on account of his limitations in the vocal departement..

The point is, he doesn't ask the general public. He never has. Did they want him to go electric, big band, religious, Grateful Dead? Part of the Dylan deal is that you don't get to chose, so you can only take it or leave it.

Of course he doesn't give a shit. But I, for one, do. And I'm more than a bit tired of the same old pedestrian blues. But if you guys get a kick out of badly played twelve bar blues, be my guest. Who am I to judge.

Though I would rather listen to someone who actally can play the blues.

Are you there? Is it a matter of whether or not to get the recording? Just why does it bother you? Honestly, I don't get it.

Oh well, for all the complainers: it was the 'warmup' gig if you will. It will get better as the tour progresses. Nice to see "Desolation Row" hit the scene. Looks like this may be a standard throughout the year

one of the most terrible renditions of the song since ever!VERY FAST ENDING! He seemed to like it neither.By the way: F**** dark stage for LARS. Looks like 1990/91

Please BOB skip at least LARS!

You could judge negatively on this poor quality video..OR take it at face value and enjoy it for the glimpse of the concert rather than as an insight to it's quality.....OR BETTER STILL take the opinion of the person who shot the video, because he was there

Here's the translation:The video is not very good because it was forbidden to shoot, but it was overwhelming to see the Master and not immortalize this moment. Bob Dylan with his 70 years remains strong, unique and led the audience, which filled the Citibank Hall, delirious.

We've seen better renditions of LARS last year, no doubt. The arrangement is quite the same, though, and so is the voice. And, hey, shooting_star_night is definitely right, it was sort of a 'warm up' gig - i mean who knows if there was any rehearsing at all?
